Project Introduction

Current market trends in embedded electronics demand more and more complex and trusted systems. The traditional methods for reaching this level of trust are intense testing and evaluation and updating such a system (when adding new functionality, correcting bugs or changing hardware or software components) requires the whole system to be tested again as the updates may introduce new weaknesses. This is a real problem in some sectors, such as the automotive industry, one of the European Union's economy strategic pillars. The ODSI project will deliver new security models with the properties and the benefits of both hardware and software approaches. These models will focus on minimal properties for isolation, with the goal of being used in mass production (low-cost and constrained CPU) in all approaches that require context isolation: M2M, IoT, network infrastructure sharing, etc.

Project labelled by Celtic-Plus

ODSI is Celtic-Plus Project: an industry-driven European research initiative to define, perform and finance through public and private funding common research projects in the area of telecommunications, new media, future Internet, and applications & services focusing on a new "Smart Connected World" paradigm. Celtic-Plus is a EUREKA ICT cluster and is part of the inter-governmental EUREKA network.
